Clutch Start Cancel Switch (4WD Models)

Disconnect electrical connector from clutch start cancel switch, located on instrument panel, left of steering column. It may be necessary to remove clutch start switch from instrument panel.
To check switch continuity, connect positive lead of ohmmeter to terminal No. 2 and negative lead to terminal No. 1 on switch electrical connector. See Fig 1. No continuity should exist.
Connect positive lead of ohmmeter to terminal No. 3 and negative lead to terminal No. 1. No continuity should exist. Check that no continuity exists between terminals No. 2 and 3.
If continuity is as specified, proceed to step 5). Replace clutch start cancel switch if continuity is not as specified.
To check switch operation, connect battery voltage to terminals No. 1 and 3 on switch electrical connector. Connect positive lead of ohmmeter to terminal No. 2 and negative lead to terminal No. 1 on switch electrical connector. No continuity should exist. Perform STEP 1. See Fig 2.
With battery and ohmmeter still connected, depress switch button. Ensure light comes on in clutch start cancel switch and continuity exists between terminals No. 1 and 2. Perform STEP 2. See Fig 2.
